Rusal plans to double Boguchansky smelter capacity by 2030
Rusal, the world's largest aluminum producer outside China, launched the first production line at Boguchansky in 2019.
Business Line believes the band of resistance for aluminum, which closed at US$2,567.5 per tonne on the LME spot on Friday, is between $2,400 and $2,600:
As long as the metal hovers above 1,900, the uptrend stays in place. Strong close above 2,600 can lift the base metal higher to 2,800 and then to 3,150-3,200 range in the long-term. On the downside, tumble below 1,900 will drag LME Aluminum spot to 1,700, and then 1,500.
Business Line believes that the base metal should be supported in the long-term by the global recovery and revival in demand.
